Region: Catalonia

We are a Scottish couple with 2 small Catalan daughters! We moved to Barcelona 16 years ago and never moved back. Our background is in the club/electronic music business and in Information Technology. We are open and easy going and we are very, very hardworking. We have a beautiful little restaurant and terraced garden on the edge of Sitges in Vallpineda. We have some of the best food in the area plus we are one of only a handful of places that take their music policy seriously. During the summer the music is in the garden and in the winter we go inside to our intimate dining space. We also have a small and very cool cafe in The Institute of Arts Barcelona, here in Sitges. Our place is not just about the food and music but also where people from the local community can come to see art exhibitions, charity events, films, hippie markets and vintage markets.

Region: Hokkaido

We are Located in Niseko Hirafu ski resort. The premier Ski resort of Asia. Its very busy in winter but no so much in summer. We take Helpers at any-time of the year but especially in from October to March, ski mountain open till May 5th and still a lot of snow. We are located only 100m to main ski lifts. Depending on ski resort policy not changing, we may have some shared ski passes you can use for free, may not be available every day and we are located only 100m to main ski lifts. If you would like to use lifts first thing in the morning every day of the season then its best you get your own season pass. (2013 SEASON WE HAVE SHARED LIFT PASSES FOR YOUR USE - SO PLEASE ENJOY THE AMAZING POWDER HERE!!) In October we are getting ready for winter season, so we really appreciate people coming from start of October. The work in October is usually cleaning and setting up restaurants, cutting fire wood, paining and some construction work. The work can be strenuous and weather on some days cold. So please bring enough warm clothes and water proof boots is best. The usual family small group sharing will decrease as more members join and the chances to speak Japanese will decrease until about the 10th of December when we most winter seasons have at least 10 Japanese staff arrive for the season. The mix of people here is very diverse from Europe to Asia. In winter Hirafu turns into a unique international village where the most spoken language becomes English. If you want to experience the real Japan Kutchan is only 7km down the road and has many bars and restaurants. We need people all thru the year. (Some years we are away travelling from late April to end of Sept- please check with us a few months before as we usually will know then what our plans are) Free ski pass for 6 hours per day help. Come to Niseko the best place in Japan because of the 4 seasons, nature, sport, onsens and food all best in Niseko!! For winter we are looking for Workawayers for the whole winter season from Dec 1st until mid or late March. We will only accept people who can come for the whole time so they can understand what work needs to be done. Ski passes will be shared among members and preference will be given to hard working responsible people who have an international drivers licence and can drive manual passenger transport vans, people who can speak both Japanese and English will be especially welcome. looking forward to meeting you!!

Region: Musandam

We are two dive instructors and live in Khasab a small village in the North of Oman. We organize daily dive trips to the best reefs of Musandam. For our dive guests we offer accommodation in our guest house in the middle of town. Khasab is known for its fishing and dates plantations. It is only in recent years that the completion of the graded road from Dubai have made motorised travel in the region possible. The remoteness of the region makes it a great get away from cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Besides diving visitors like to watch the dolphins from a traditional Omani dhow boat inside the fjords. They like to explore the mountain area looking for ancient settlements, prehistoric tombs and rock carvings. Khasab Castle is worth a visit because of its history. Many traditional items showcase the heritage and culture of the region.

Region: Vratsa

We are a husband (Simon) and wife (Michelle) team with 2 recently adopted daughters aged 8 and 10. We have for the past 5 years lived in the beautiful Northwest of Bulgaria - still a unspoilt, rural area. We love this area and how the old and the new still fit together, for example many people´s only form of transport is the horse (or donkey) and cart, whereas their next door neighbours could have a new car. Many people still plough by horse. All this we would have great pleasure in showing you, and we´d hope you would love the area as much as we do. Anyone who has seen our profile before will now see that things have changed for us in the last year, we have cut down on our animals as Simon is working away in the UK quite often but we still have 3 horses, 1 foal and 2 ponies and lots of dogs and puppies as I foster them, cats, chickens and ducks - they still keep us busy. We have a busy but relaxed life. Our daughters are very lively and inquisitive, so you must also love children and be tolerant of them. The locals are great, you´ll meet some lovely friendly people who will always make you welcome. Michelle is also fluent in Spanish so could help with that as well. Great area for fishing, hiking, biking, relaxing etc, etc. We are looking for a couple who love animals and ideally one has experience with horses and a very good rider as part of the work would be help with the training and exercising the horses (2 x 4 year old gypsy cobs and a TB stallion)
